Located a half-mile from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, this three-star Gatlinburg hotel features 215 rooms and suites across multiple categories. The hotel's indoor and outdoor pool complex includes waterfalls and a hot tub, while 10000 square feet of function space encompasses a creek-side pavilion overlooking LeConte Creek. Guest rooms come equipped with flat-screen TVs, microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, and free high-speed WiFi. Select accommodations offer private balconies, gas fireplaces, or poolside access. Glenstone Lodge provides a 24-hour front desk, an ATM, and complimentary parking. The property sits within walking distance of downtown attractions, including Ripley's Aquarium and the Space Needle, with a convenient trolley stop directly in front.

Pros

Creekside pavilion accommodates outdoor events for up to 500 guests

Direct access to seasonal indoor and outdoor pool complex with waterfalls

Multiple room types available, including fireplace rooms and executive suites

Trolley stop at entrance provides free transportation around town

Cons

Located 49.5 miles from McGhee Tyson Airport

Some rooms face interior corridors rather than exterior views

“What I found appealing here is the blend of historical charm with a focus on family fun; the pools are definite highlights. It's within walking distance to downtown, which adds a layer of convenience, especially with that creekside pavilion providing a nice spot to unwind. The event spaces are quite versatile, making it a solid option for various gatherings.”

The Glenstone Lodge is a fantastic choice for families visiting Gatlinburg. The indoor pool area is a real highlight, providing endless fun for the kids, and the staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though slightly dated, and the location makes it easy to walk to the main attractions. One downside was the noise from maintenance work early in the morning, but overall, we had a great time.
